About Royal Ontario Museum
The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) in Toronto is one of the largest and most comprehensive museums in North America, and is renowned for its diverse collections as well as its impressive architecture. The museum was established in 1914, so it’s now over 100 years old and it covers art, culture, and natural history.
The ROM’s collection is vast with over 13 million objects of which they show various across 40 galleries and rotate them, providing an extensive range of exhibits.
You can explore artefacts from ancient Egypt, including mummies and sarcophagi, as well as an impressive collection of Chinese art and Buddhist sculptures. The museum's natural history section is equally fascinating and features a vast collection of dinosaur fossils and one of the world’s most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeletons!
The Biodiversity Gallery is another highlight and showcases specimens of rare and extinct animals, including the iconic dodo. For those interested in the history of the Americas, the museum has a significant collection of Indigenous artefacts that provide insights into the cultural heritage of Canada's First Nations.
One of the most striking features of the ROM is the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal, a modern architectural extension designed by Daniel Libeskind and completed in 2007. The bold design has become a symbol of the museum and is a fascinating contrast to the original 20th-century architecture.
The ROM is not just about static displays. It offers a range of interactive experiences which include hands-on discovery areas for children and adults to enjoy, making it a fun and more interesting visit.
The ROM's Digital Gallery allows you to engage with exhibits through augmented reality and interactive screens, making the learning experience more dynamic and engaging.
Throughout the year, the ROM hosts a variety of special exhibitions that focus on everything from contemporary art to scientific discoveries. The temporary exhibitions often feature internationally renowned artefacts and offer visitors a chance to see rare items up close.
